Originally from Newark, Notts, Critta’s earliest musicianship was recognised in his love for hip hop and rap. His fascination with it encouraged him to explore freestyle rapping with his friends everyday and this soon led to an interest in producing his own beats. A love of bass music carved an inevitable pathway into creating electronic music of his own. Being surrounded by the Nottingham scene whilst studying at his college Confetti in 2016, his productions started with 140/dub. Now he lives in Bristol studying Music Production and Sound Engineering at dBs music and, given the scene in the city, it has lightened his long-term underlying love of drum and bass. He is also one half of the weighty drum and bass duo called Raid. Critta likes to make his own music on the side albeit not as bass driven and complex. Expect atmosphere, emotion and experimental sounds in a mulitude of genres. Oh, and the odd hip-hop instrumental of the wavy kind. Of course you can always go back to raid when the amygdala requires it.
